EDITOR S REPORT 



501 



TLe interest received from all sources foots up $387.94, as against 

 $383.24 for last year. 



The financial status of the Society, and also the receipts and disburse- 

 ments for the past year up to December 1, 1902, are embodied in the 

 preceding balance sheet. It should be noted that the large balance in 

 the treasury contains $1,500 which belongs in the publication fund, and 

 that large bills for later printing of volume 13 will be drawn against it. 



Respectfully submitted. 



I. C. White, 



MoRGANTOWN, W . Va., December 10, 1902. Treasurer. 



Editor's Repokt 



To the Council of the Geological Society of America: 



By reason of the absence of members in the field, and consequent 

 difficulty in getting proof returned, it has been impossible to complete 

 volume 13 before the close of the year; hence only a preliminary state- 

 ment can be made by the Editor. 



The proceedings of the Rochester meeting is the only brochure which 

 remains to be printed at this writing, all the other papers, aggregating 

 some 400 pages, having been printed and distributed. The Rochester 

 proceedings are now in galleys, and it can be estimated that the volume 

 will contain from 475 to 500 amply illustrated pages. An interesting 

 feature of volume 13 will be a carefully prepared catalog of all photo- 

 graphs belonging to the Society, which will be found convenient for 

 reference by members of the Society and the interested public. 



No definite statement of cost can be given until the volume is com- 

 pleted, and this and other statistical material will appear in a future 

 report to the Council. 



All the manuscripts of volume 14 thus far received by the editor are 

 in the printer's hands, and its publication will be rapidly accomplished 

 as soon a^ volume 13 can be disposed of.
